Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash and scrub 1 pound of baby potatoes under running water. If any are larger than a golf ball, halve them for even cooking.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Carefully add the prepared baby potatoes and cook for 12–15 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil or unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and a small chopped onion.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, and pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of chicken or vegetable broth. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme or Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.
  6. Add the drained baby potatoes into the skillet with the creamy garlic sauce and toss gently until well-coated.
  7. Stir in ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes.
  8. Garnish your Creamy Garlic Sauce Baby Potatoes with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
